Next True Detective Star: Colin Farrell

Looks like at least one of the stars of the next round of HBO's True Detective has been cast: "I'm doing the second series," Colin Farrell tells the Sunday World. "I'm so excited." Few other details are known, but it will be a stand-alone story unrelated to the first series, which starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. "I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot," Farrell says. "I know very little about it, but we're shooting in the environs of Los Angeles." Slate reports that the plot revolves around a corrupt businessman's murder, and that the main characters will include three police officers investigating the case. Other actors rumored to be involved in some way include, according to Rolling Stone, Elisabeth Moss, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, and Taylor Kitsch. (More Colin Farrell stories.)
